Chapter 182 Magnus! The ship to Nicaea is ready!
......
“Father, I have discovered a lost technology—an ancient technological product left behind by a lost civilization—these creations were discovered in Prospero when I was studying the appearance of the Soul-Eating Bees and their habitats in the warp.”
"They can actually be used as channels for safer faster-than-light travel in the future."
"Its name... Netway, that's right, it's Netway!"
"If we have the opportunity to warp in this way in the future, we will no longer be disturbed by subspace storms, and our future will be unimpeded!"
It was after the celebration of the victory at Ulano that Magnus, who had come to the venue, stopped the emperor by chance and reported his accidental discovery.
Magnus was very pleased with this.
He knew how astonishing his discovery would be, and he also knew that after such a great discovery, the Emperor would surely change his attitude of disgust and turn to support Magnus in continuing to explore the mysterious warp, to obtain more lost knowledge and truth, so as to better benefit human society.
But in fact, the emperor already knew.
So that's what it was about. Magnus's information network is really poor.
“My child, the reason I left the Great Expedition this time is precisely because of this.”
"The day of the next subspace storm is approaching, and if we do not have a better strategy to deal with it, we will repeat the fate of the dark age of technology."
“I will return to Holy Terra to repair the ancient network of facilities located there. If all goes well, we will see each other again soon.”
(Actually, even if things don't go smoothly, we can still meet again soon.)
"You already knew about the existence of the Net Path? And you even have the ability to repair it!?"
This greatly piqued Magnus's curiosity.
Imagine if Magnus could help the Emperor repair the Web, demonstrating his powerful psychic abilities to fix the Web equipment. The Emperor would surely understand that he is capable of controlling psychic energy and can provide crucial assistance to Magnus.
(Actually, the one who delivered the crucial blow)
“Father, I can help you.”
--help.
The emperor paused for a moment when he heard Magnus say that.
For a moment, even he didn't know.
Magnus said he wanted to help the Emperor repair the net system, which is tantamount to saying...
— Magnus is coming to cause trouble!
.......
(Visions in psychic prophecy)
"Huh, why are there some small blue things here in the net path? No matter how much psionic energy I apply, I can't get rid of them?"
"What happened?"
"Ah, whatever! Anyway, this net is pretty tough. If I can easily break through it—"
boom!
Magnus lost control, and the burst of spiritual energy pierced through the entire net from the inside out.
Only an emperor, covered in dust and grime from the explosion (the rest of the scientists were all killed), was left to face the endless stream of demons emerging from the network.
"Magnus!!!"
"You idiot!!!"
"what have you been doing!!!"
......
Emperor: "..."
He didn't want that to happen.
He didn't want this troublemaker to return to Holy Terra with him.
The best-case scenario is that this guy stays alone in Prospero and doesn't go anywhere else.
If the Golden Throne really has a problem, then call him over to be the new toilet plunger.
—This was the Emperor's career plan for Magnus.
Although it sounds cruel, it does indeed reflect his abilities.
He's only fit for this job.
“Magnus, Lemanrus and I have reported that your legions have once again experienced flesh mutations, and he suspects that you are still using witchcraft that you should not be involved in.”
That was before the Battle of Ulano, when the Thousand Sons Legion was fighting in a joint operation with the Space Wolves Legion and the Word Bearers Legion.
During this operation, the Space Marines of the Thousand Sons and the Space Wolves clashed in an attempt to preserve the books in the civilization's library.
One of the wizards, who was casting a spell, suddenly underwent a flesh mutation, which terrified Lemanus.
In his view, the reappearance of this long-absent flesh mutation meant that Magnus was definitely up to his wizarding tricks again.
These wizards of the thousand went astray, either because Magnus turned a blind eye and indulged them, or because Magnus himself led the way in practicing witchcraft.
Magnus himself is certainly involved in this.
Ugh!
These thousand sons are really something.
Why can't they learn from the rune priests of the Wolf Pack and use the power of nature?
With this mix of dissatisfaction and concern, Lemanus chose to contact the Emperor and report the matter.
“Father! This situation is only a low-probability event, and I am confident that I have not done anything harmful to the human empire. I can guarantee that.”
“I’m not blaming you, Magnus, but I want you to know, even if I’m not.”
"The energy of the subspace will always subtly change your perception of things. Often, without you even realizing it, your own thinking has already begun to tilt in a dangerous direction, and ultimately..."
"Psionic energy is always an unstable form of energy, and I hope that one day you—"
The emperor patiently corrected him.
He knew that his child had developed some problems with his thinking due to spending too much time immersed in psychic knowledge.
But clearly Magnus wouldn't listen.
If he listened to that, would he still be Magnus?
......
Back to the present.
The Vortex Chamber is located at the base of the Imperial Palace's corona spire.
This is where Makado practiced and came to understand those obscure warp powers.
He was sitting on a basalt throne, a naturally hexagonal stone structure inlaid with countless gems and carved with a network of runes that would make any ordinary person dizzy at a glance.
This is an artifact from the ancient Terra era, a gift presented to Makado by the Emperor.
In this simple meditation room, Makado had nothing else—except for the news he had just learned, which he almost doubted he had misheard.
"Emergency Star Message: 'Magnus worships the Weaver of Fate, Carlos, as the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle'.......?"
What is this thing?
He was stunned for a moment.
Even though Macardo was an immortal and knowledgeable man, he never imagined that the joke, "From afar, it looks like a double-headed eagle; up close, it looks like Carlos," which was only used as a joke between him and the Emperor, would actually appear in the real world.
And they actually believed the lies of that treacherous demon, unaware of the extent of their corruption...
hiss......
Like any normal human who had spent three seconds with Magnus, Makado began to have a headache.
The must-have pony's passive skill is the Headache Aura.
It can raise the blood pressure and give anyone who sees what he does a headache.
How was he supposed to report this to the Emperor?
If that old buddy of mine finds out... will Magnus even be able to leave with a whole corpse?
[Notify the Emperor: Come to Nicaea immediately and capture Magnus!]
indeed.
It should have been done a long time ago.
As a fellow psychic, Makado didn't want Magnus to continue showcasing his "psychic talents" around the world.
This guy... is really tarnishing the reputation of us psionic users.
Seeing the growing misunderstanding of psionics within the Empire due to Magnus's foolishness, with some of the blame even directed at him, Macardo.
He felt extremely helpless about this.
Makado sighed, picked up the scepter that was placed aside, and walked out of the meditation room following the rhythmic sound of it striking the ground.
......
"Pack your things and get ready to head to Nicaea."
He's managed to clean up Interles' mess.
Magnus did do some good—at least he pointed out that the Cairnblach people once worshipped Chaos and that there was a risk of contamination.
In response, Casca turned against Magnus.
After this point was pointed out, Interles lost the initiative in the subsequent negotiations—after all, no one knows whether it will implode again as a beacon of chaos, and what if this happens again in the future?
Moreover, after the Casca revealed the spirit of the centaur, they also won the faith of a large number of Interles people—who firmly believed that the spirit of the centaur was the god who had once guided them to Interles.
To combat the Chaos Demons, they must unite and fight alongside the Centaur Spirits, the human Empire, to stop the demonic forces from invading the real world.
While the requirements are somewhat demanding, they are understandable given the impending large-scale chaos invasion.
But... on the surface, the human empire still believes in the truth of the empire, of course, only on the surface.
As the Great Expedition continues to expand outwards, and as more and more monsters and demons reveal their true colors beyond the reach of the Starlight... even the most eloquent preachers of the Empire's truth are of no use.
Although there is still a long way to go before the two sides can finalize the terms, at least for now, Fugrim can leave and leave the rest to the Imperial Army and bureaucrats.
This makes negotiating terms much easier.
"—Finally, there's that nemesis, Blade."
Casca has never forgotten the purpose of his visit to Interles.
“Magnus, give me that Nemesis Blade. Such an extremely dangerous thing should not remain in the world, not even as a museum exhibit.”
"Evil objects tainted by the power of chaos must be destroyed!"
Seeing Casca's resolute expression, Magnus could no longer argue. Even though he was very curious about how this power of nemesis was achieved, he had no choice but to hand over the Nemesis Blade to Casca and let him handle it.
Bear!
After the Casgar psionic flames burned for a long time, and after the theater troupe and the Metzy musicians had to summon the spirits of the centaurs along the way.
Finally, the nemesis blade was completely torn apart by the centaur's golden javelin, becoming scrap metal devoid of any psionic energy.
"Without the Blade of Nemesis, there shouldn't be any major problems in the future..."
Seeing that his nemesis's blade had completely disappeared, Kasgar finally breathed a sigh of relief.
By the way, the medzio musician.
Just before the Sons of the Emperor's fleet was about to leave Interreis, some of the Mettrie musicians decided to board the Emperor's Pride and join them on their interstellar journey.
Together they played the "Centaur Gold Ring".
With the addition of the arias by the melody of the melody player, the faith power generated by their centaur gold rings will be even stronger, and the summoned centaurs will be larger and more golden.
A huge, golden centaur!
With the newly enhanced [Centaur Gold Ring], the Imperial Pride began its journey towards the planet Nicaea, bathed in a sea of light...
